Introduction to the Macromolecules

You will take notes on additional properties of carbon.  Then you will be introduced to the macromolecules: Carbohydrates, Proteins, Fats/Lipids and Nucleic acids.

You will take notes on the first of the four macromolecules: Carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates (polysaccharides) - monomers glucose.

 Starch, glycogen and cellulose are also examples of polysaccharides.  Excess glucose is stored in plants as starch, and in animal tissue as glycogen.  The cell wall of plants called cellulose are made of glucose.
